"We have developed a magnetically levitated micro-robot."

"We are the first in the world to make such a floating robot equipped with micro-grippers. It can enter virtually any space and can be operated in a sealed enclosure by a person outside, which makes it useful for handling bio-hazardous materials or working in vacuum chambers and clean rooms."

Uh ...this article is talking about Canadian researchers, don'cha know.

Which means this is more likely the result of a Molson Moment, then foretaste of a Dan Simmons trilogy.
